Full body: Heavy weight

No, you're illiterate, you moron.

An earlier session today and I felt a bit groggy at the start. I was awake at my usual time - around 6:00am - but I normally have an extra hour to ease myself into the day! Still, the chance to play with the new gym equipment made up for that.

Power clean and press: 3, 3, 3, 3, 2
95, 105, 110 (2), 115 (0), 115 (1), 115 (0)

On the "0" sets I could do the cleans, but couldn't lock out the bar overhead. At least I could throw the weights down without causing any damage! My PR for push presses is either 110 - locking out, but without the hold - or 105 with the hold.

Trap bar deadlifts 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
150, 170, 190, 210, 230

Interesting new way of doing deadlifts. The neutral grip is wider than I use for standard deadlifts, but I actually felt it was easier to keep good form with this set up (head and chest up, "gorilla" back). I might try using this the next time I go for a 1 rep max deadlift. However, from what I've read online, the trap version uses more squatting muscles than a standard deadlift, so I should probably treat it as a different move all together.

As a side note, I've found all the deadlifts I've been doing in recent months have definitely helped with my long term back pain. I don't recall having any significant pain for a long time. I'm sure the deadlifts have been helping to strengthen my lower back.
